Society Profile
OUR MEMBERS. The International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society (MDS) is an international professional
society of clinicians, scientists and other healthcare professionals who are interested in Parkinson’s disease, related
neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental disorders, hyperkinetic Movement Disorders and abnormalities in muscle
tone and motor control. The spectrum of clinical disorders represented by MDS includes, but is not limited to: ataxia,
chorea, dystonia, gait disorders, Huntington’s disease, myoclonus, Parkinson’s disease, restless leg syndrome, spasticity,
tardive dyskinesia, tics and Tourette syndrome, and tremor.
In addition to more than 5,400 individual members, 26 national Movement Disorder societies collaborate with MDS as
Affiliate Members.
MISSION. The mission of MDS is to operate exclusively for scientific, scholarly and educational purposes; to encourage
research; to provide forums, such as medical journals, scientific symposia and International Congresses, for sharing ideas
and for advancing the related clinical and scientific disciplines; to encourage interest and participation in the activities
of MDS among healthcare and allied professionals and scientists; to collaborate with other related professional and lay
organizations; and to advance the neurological sciences pertaining to Movement Disorders.
HISTORY. MDS was founded in 1985 on the initiative of Professors Stanley Fahn and C. David Marsden, whose leadership
and vision guided the expansion of clinical expertise and research in this field. It merged in 1992 with the International
Medical Society for Motor Disturbances. Publication of the journal Movement Disorders began in 1986, and the first
International Congress was held in 1990. In 2013, The Movement Disorder Society officially changed its name to the
International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society, in order to recognize the growing importance of Parkinson’s
disease care and research within the field of Movement Disorders.
ACTIVITIES. MDS produces two journals: Movement Disorders and the online journal Movement Disorders – Clinical
Practice. The Society also manages 13 disease state rating scales validated in 10 languages and is in the process of
validating scales in an additional 29 languages.
The MDS Continuing Education program serves more than 10,000 clinicians, other health professionals, researchers,
and policy makers throughout the world each year. Content delivery modalities include live courses, enduring materials
and Internet CME. The target audience for the Society’s Continuing Medical Education program, both MDS members and
non-members, who interact with patients living with Movement Disorders. MDS enhances patient care by advancing the
science, medical knowledge and competence in the area of Movement Disorders.
